Snowflake Challenge day 1

• Transformative Works Policy: [what is it, where is it posted]


I'm not sure I have anything as grand as a policy, but on Ao3 I do say "If anything I write makes you want to write or draw your own stuff, feel free. Likewise if you'd like to include it in a podcast or podfic it. I would be completely flattered and would love to hear about it."


• Current Passion [not necessarily fandom or fannish, but anything that takes up your time and thoughts - e.g. knitting, interpretive dance, meta about a movie that doesn't exist, or you know, one that does]


My blorbo of the moment is Jin Guangyao, and I am gnawing my way through every fic on Ao3 that contains him like the very hungry caterpillar through a leaf. (Skipping the ones in which he is a moustache twirling villain.) Then I'm podficcing my favourites.

Having had a professional writing career and burning out, I'm now trying to retrain as a signwriter, so that's something I try to practice every day. I'm also trying to learn to play the melodeon. And in my spare spare time I can be found morris dancing. This year I imagine there will also be a lot of narrowboat-fettling as I try to help my son make his boat livable.


• Where to Find Me: [what platform do you use the most, or what platform do you use for different purposes?]


I use Tumblr when I just want to scroll through pretty things and rest my brain, Dreamwidth when I want to actually interact with people, and Mastodon mainly because I like the idea of decentralized internet, but I've not really connected with it.


• Master List: [for fic, for art, for recs, or anything else]


Fic and podfic are on Ao3
For everything else, I have a Website Of My Own at Galadhir's Home On The Net

• Anything Else: [anything else you'd like to include]

Happy New Year to everyone. Here's hoping this year will be better than last :)

Morris dancing is so much fun. I can definitely recommend it if you can get to try.

Yes, there's a community of people who live on the canals in narrowboats, who are called 'continuous cruisers' because they have no fixed mooring, and they move from place to place every two weeks. With a good arial you can still get internet so a lot of them work remote jobs. It's a very off-grid lifestyle, and fortunately there are no waves on the canals (except when another boat goes past,) so I think you'd be okay :)

That does sound like it would be more up my alley! *g*
